Rebirth: Fight For Life

  Chapter 642 NASA and Musk were struck by lightning

   Flint Aerospace's team arrived at the Chauncey Satellite Launch Center three days later. According to Ye Heng's arrangement, they also dispersed to various links to study the experience seriously.

   These are the technicians who prepare the ground before the launch of the spacecraft.

   Final assembly, testing, transshipment... I have to say that this bit of experience has been accumulated over decades, and it has also been accumulated with repeated launches, both successful and unsuccessful.

  In those days, funds were tight, and in order to reduce losses, every link was simulated over and over again. After finding no problem on paper, there are a lot of situations that were not foreseen in the actual work process.

   Today, these experiences are almost at the mercy of Flint Aerospace.

   This is the benefit of Gu Song's identity and the long-term cooperative relationship that Flint Aerospace has established with Huaguo Aerospace System.

   Of course, Gu Song didn't want these for nothing.

   Part of the tuition he pays is a steady stream of orders, and it is the R&D funding for each collaborative research project, including the application of artificial intelligence and quantum computing that he "shared" in the aerospace field.

  Low-end version.

   After all, the perfect body is actually in his mind.

  The atmosphere is fun.

  Gu Song is not idle either. He is also optimizing the operation system of the future Flint Island based on the current final assembly test process.

  The parts and components produced from the unmanned manufacturing factory eventually need to go to the final assembly and testing workshop, where a part of the laborers participate in the final link.

   Some are assembled and then transported in the final assembly test workshop, and some are assembled and launched in the integrated launch tower.

   There are some technologies in it that even the current Chinese officials have not been able to perfect.

   In the past three years, the construction of Flint Island is still in its infancy, and the launch missions of Flint Aerospace are all entrusted, so Gu Song has not devoted time to perfect these links.

   But Flint Island is about to enter a state of full fire.

   This is why Gu Song must spend so much time here.

   The cooperation between the two parties has been carried out so many times, and everything is very smooth. Although they knew that Flint Aerospace's satellites would have high technical content and even hide some secrets, the people at the Chauncey Satellite Launch Center were only responsible for launching, not satellite design.

   They completed the test according to the parameters provided by Flint Aerospace, and completed the final assembly. The rocket was transferred to the launch tower and began to be refueled.

  This launch was different from the past, and even Gu Song was very nervous.

   After all, there is a tiny fusion generator hidden in that 6.5-ton satellite.

  In the black technology encyclopedia, such a thing is not the most advanced, but it is the most suitable for planning now.

   But he is also the thing that Gu Song has tinkered with now, which has the most impact on reality.

   Gu Song was nervous, in addition to whether it could be successfully launched into the sky, but also whether it could be successfully ignited after it reached the back of the moon in the future.

   Now, let’s get nervous for the first step.

  The rocket launch is not 100% successful. In the previous launch, Gu Song was able to be calm because the things to be sent to the sky were not so critical.

   Standing in the launch hall, Gu Song's solemn expression fell in Ye Ziheng's eyes, which confirmed his previous guess.

   The continuous launch failures made Gu Song hold his breath.

   There are only three things, if this launch is not completely successful, I really don’t know how he will adjust his space program in the future.

  The team at the Chauncey Satellite Launch Center was also nervous.

   is close to the maximum load, and this rocket launch has higher requirements for fault tolerance in each link.

   Not the slightest mistake.

   There will be no more fuel to adjust attitude and orbit.

  The mass of the load at the top of the rocket is so large and the center of gravity is shifted higher, and the requirements for the attitude of the rocket need to be more precise.

   Then the initial attitude of the rocket, the ignition time of each engine, and the magnitude and angle of the thrust generated by the eruption cannot be wrong.

  The leaders of the Changxi Satellite Launch Center accompanied them in the launch command hall and silently hoped that everything would go well.

  As the launch window time approached, the rocket engine finally fired on time.

   This component is only sent to the geosynchronous transfer orbit, and the success or failure will soon be known.

  The tail flame erupted by the rocket engine is very spectacular. When the fully-fired rocket climbs into the sky, it has a strange power and beauty.

  Gu Song's eyes flickered, but he thought of the Zhulong 2 rocket that He Anzhi was developing.

  The design capacity is unparalleled, with a carrying capacity of 132.5 tons in low-Earth orbit, 68.8 tons in synchronous orbit, and 55 tons in lunar orbit!

   How spectacular will it be when it takes off?

   This is the biggest guy who broke the record of human launch vehicle capacity, surpassing the Saturn V that was planned to land on the moon that year!

   In Gu Song's reverie, the sound report in the launch command center also relaxed everyone's nerves.

   This launch was finally completed perfectly.

Ye Ye Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Liwei, chairman of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group who had already rushed over, said with emotion: "Now, I hope to see the completion of this giant satellite soon. President Gu, we are all waiting to see the space docking of Flint Aerospace. Show!"

   "Let's all hurry up, I also hope to see it one day sooner."

  Gu Song and the congratulatory people shook hands one by one.

   Zhang Liwei is not talking nonsense, since the first component has been launched, at least it shows that in the ground test stage, Flint Aerospace believes that its space docking technology has passed the test.

   This will really create a new chapter for Huaguo Aerospace.

  If Flint Aerospace succeeds, it is estimated that the next time they will ask Flint Aerospace for experience.

  …

   Although this launch was registered in advance, when NASA detected the launch, it only discovered that the launch was such a behemoth.

   When it is fully unfolded in space, the volume is really scary.

  NASA also cannot accurately estimate its mass, and can only roughly judge it. This is probably the largest satellite ever launched by China.

   For a time, countless measurement and control equipment located on the surface were aligned with the orbit of this satellite.

   On the space base, some special satellites that have been launched into space can only temporarily use precious power to adjust their attitudes, hoping to observe this satellite at the closest point of each other's orbits.

   They were worried about the purpose of this huge satellite.

   At the same time, all kinds of doubts were also sent to China's space agency.

   The result was told that this is a satellite of Flint Aerospace. There is no comment regarding the commercial secrets of Flint Aerospace.

   Then NASA raised some objections.

   This launch was not registered with ITU in advance. If judged according to this, is this a sensitive satellite in the defense field?

   If it is a commercial satellite launched by a private company such as Flint Aerospace, it should register in advance and disclose some parameters and uses.

   Under the current international framework, orbital resources and radio frequency band resources are regulated.

  To talk about requirements, this is also a legitimate requirement under the current framework.

   Flint Aerospace is not ready to challenge this system now, and then Feng Xiaolong held a press conference in Yanjing.

   An exploration satellite that will be docked twice in synchronous orbit, composed of three components, with a total weight of 16.9 tons, and then headed to the moon.

   Flint Space's readjusted month-by-month plan following two failed lunar launches.

  Including Musk, all the people in the space circle have only one idea in their minds.

   Flint Aerospace Is this crazy?

   This is probably the most cost-effective way to launch.

  Three GTO orbital launches, space docking. 16.9 tons, except for the moon landing plan, this is probably the largest spacecraft launched to the moon.

   Is Gu Song crazy?

   Isn’t this much more technically difficult than launching a two- or three-ton lunar exploration satellite alone?

   Even if this first "component" has successfully entered the synchronous orbit, the two space dockings must be completed perfectly, and then the orbit must be ignited in the synchronous orbit to change the orbit and enter the lunar orbit.

   What is the difficulty of this challenge?

   I failed twice, so I wouldn't be provoked like this, right?

  Foreign media interviewed Musk about this, Musk could only ridicule with emotion: "I really envy that rich guy. If I have a company with a market value of nearly 200 billion US dollars, I also want to challenge such a thing!"

   Thanks dsbghost for the tip!
